Crown of Blood: The Deadly Inheritance of Lady Jane Grey by Nicola Tallis
3.0
It seems I know more about Jane Grey than I expected because I learned nothing new in this book.
I found this not to deliver on it's promise. In the intro the author informs us that Jane was a true queen, but then in the book the author stresses how she was the pawn of men, didn't want to be queen, and was a young victim. If she was a true queen, what was her vision? Her plans for policy or reform? Her goals for her rule? Convince me! Show me how she was a true queen!
Poor Jane and what an injustice was done to her. She seemed like an insufferable woman to actually know (so high and mighty and I know better than you) but did not deserve to die. It's a shame she could not have lived out her life in peace and scholarship.
I gained respect for Mary and how she tried to befriend and protect the women of the Grey family.
I really did not like the audiobook reader for this who had such strange pronunciation and voice.
